Information from website (http://live.gnome.org/Rygel):
Rygel is a collection of DLNA (UPnP AV) services (devices in UPnP
speak), implemented through a plug-in mechanism.
Important facts and features
* Specifically designed for GNOME (Mobile) and is therefore
planned to be one of the key new features of Maemo platform in
the Harmattan release.
* Based on GUPnP.
* written (mostly) in Vala language
* APIs to ease the implementation of AV devices (currently only
MediaServer V2.0 specification)
* Export of on-disk media:
o tracker plugin.
o media-export plugin: Recursively exports folders and files specified in
the user configuration. This plugin supports all types of URIs that
gio/gvfs and gstreamer can handle.
* Export of online media from 2nd German TV station.
* Export of media hierarchies provided by external applications through implementation
of D-Bus MediaServer spec. Applications that utilize this feature are:
o PulseAudio: Provides streams for input/output devices on the system.
o DVB Daemon: Provides live TV (DVB) channel streams.
o Export of GStreamer pipelines as media items on the network, specified
through gst-launch syntax in the user configuration.
* Audio and Video Transcoding: source format could be anything GStreamer's
decodebin2 can handle but output formats are currently limited to: mp3, PCM
and MPEG TS. Fortunately the transcoding framework is flexible enough to
easily add more transcoding targets.
